Need for a Central American Canal.

Some may still ask, is canal or ship
railway worth building after all2 Even
Admiral Ammen intimidated doubts as
late as 1870, after the decision of the
Paris Congress, as to whether the time had
come to cut the ISthmus. 1t may not be
hard to satisfy ourselves on this point.
In q report submitted to the Navy Depart
ment in 1866 by Admiral c. II. Davis, an
estimate is given of the tonnage which
would have used canal had one been in
existence, as we'll as of the loss inflicted
upon commerce because of its lack. The
former estimate is 1904, 070 tons, which
agrees pretty well with the estimate of
the Paris Congress for the year 1879, if
we assume the rate of annual increase
from 1866 to 1879 which the Congress
adopted. Admiral Davis's estimate of
the loss annually experienced by COM
me ce was $40, $50, 208 These estimates
made over twenty years ago, would he
evidently too low for 1887. But even
should we assume that in the course of
the past twenty years no increase of traf-
fic had occurred, result sufficiently sur
prising would be arrived at The loss to
commerce would amount to 5000, 900, 900,
abort the cost of the Panama Canal &C.
cording to the estimate of the Paris Con-
gress. This simple calculation shows the
Importance of the work. Mr.. Bigelow,
in hisreport, already quoted, says, with
reference TO the Panama Canal, Were all
nations to contribute to its construction
in any equitable proportion to the advan-
tages they would derive it, the stock
wou'd be as difficult to obtain as IT,

Street Cars in Mexico.

The street cars run in groups, one
never being seen alone nor two together,
but always three or four in a row less
than half block apart. Instead of
starting from the terminus one every
five OF ten minutes, several are started
every half hour To run each car it re-
quires two conductors besides the driver,
and also in many places two or three sol
diers armed cap,a-pie. The first con-
ductor approaches passenger, sells him
a tilk et and pockets the money, and soon
the second conductor comes along and
takes up the bit of printed pasteboard;
meanwhile the -buttoned guardians
of the peace stand glowering upon you
with suspicious eyes and loaded carbines.
In some respects the double-conductor
system is better than the ''punch-in the
presence-of- the passengaire" mode of the
United States, but though the soldiers
are provided to insure the safety of pas
sengers from robbers and revolutionists,
a timid person is more worried by their
presence than by the possible dangers

Pearls and Pearl Fisheries.

The most important pearl fisheries Of
the World are those of Ceylon and Coro.
mandel in the Indian Sea, whence pearls
have been obtained from the earliest
times OF history, The divers aT ives
trained to the pursuit, who are -ccus-
toned to descend to the depth of six or
eight fathoms some forty times day.
They take down a large stone to hasten
their descent, and bag into which
they throw the oysters rs they tear them
from the rocks. They remain under
water from minute to a minute and n
half. The fishing season begins in
March or April and only continues about
a month. A single she'll may contain
from eight to twenty pearls varying
from the size of q small pea to about
three times that size. There are pearl
fisheries also on the coasts OF Java,
Sumatra and Japan. The coasts of Co.
lombia and other points on the shores
Of South America have yielded large
quantities of pearls, but they are
usually smaller than the oriental pearls
and inferior to them in lustre. Tho
cause of the pearl is the introduction of
a grain of sand or other foreign sub
stance into The shell of the pearl oyster.
This causes an irritation of the delicate
tissue Of the OYSTER which Immediately
deposits the pearly matter around them
sor protection. Advantage is taken of
this fact by men who take pains to put
substances within the shells of the young
oysters to induce the formation OF pearls.
The Chinese by these means force
species Of fresh water mussels to produce
pears. Lpn@us, the botanist, sug-
gestcd to the Swedish government that
he making Of pearls might be forced by
boring hole through the shell, but the
plan was not found to be practically
successful. False or artificial pearls
were first made by the Venetians by lin
ing giobuIe of glass with qu cksIlver,
but The French discovered a more sue
cessful imitation in lining glass pearls
with WAX anil fish scales, the latter be-
ing taken from the body OF the fish
while living, TO preserve their gltterlng
hue. The jewellers of Rome, too, have

produce most perfect imitation Of

Sons More Plenty Than Money.

One of the employees of the Union
depot, says the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette, who is member of the Penn
sylvania Relief Association, recently told
of a funny incident in connection with
the relief fund. 1t seems that the first
member lied was an Italian laborer at
Twenty eighth street. The company
buried the body and forwarded to the
mans father in Italy check for $500.
The old man was so overjoyed at secur-
ing so much money for the loss of son
that he Immediately dispatched another
one to this country, with instructions to
get a job on the Pennsylvania Railroad
and become a member of the association.
He is still working on the road.

The COMPASS Plant.

Long before men learned to poise a
piece of magnetized iron on pivot to
indicate the north, there were natural
compasses growing on the American
prairies, and they still flourish in large
numbers as a reliable guide to travellers
across the American desert. They are q
peculiar species of plant, called the COM
pass plant, the pilot weed, or the polar
plant and have been known for genera
tions to the Western hunter, although
the scientific world has known them but
a short time. The edges of its leaves are
said to be always pointed dde north and
south. An authority states; Repeated
observations upon the prairies, with
measurements by the compass of the di-
rections assumed by hundreds of leaves,
especially of the radical ones, have shown
that as to prevalent position the popular
belief has a certain foundation in the
fact"
Captain Mayne Reid mentions it in ont
of his books as follows: "We had a
guide to orr direction unerring as the
magnetic needle. We were traversing
the region of the polar plant, the planes
of whose leaves at almost every step
pointed out our meridian. 1t grew upon
our track, and was crushed under the
hoofs of our horses as we rode onward. :"
The traveller Burton also refers to it
"Whilst in the damper ground appeared
the polar plant, that prairie compass the
plane of whose leaf ever turns toward
the magnetic meridian" Another writer
says: Fortunately none goes to the prai-
ries for the first time without being
shown, in case Of mishaps, the groups Of
compass-weed which abound all over the
plains. and the broad flat leaves of which
point due no tn and south with an ac-
curacy as unvarying as that of the mag
netic needle itself, --Harper's Young

The Only way to Conquer Dyspepsia.

1t is perfectly preposterous to intro
duce pepsin and other artificial solvents
into the stomach, in the expectation
that they will assist digestion by acting
on the food itself. They will not. Nor
is it possible thus to overcome dyspep-
STA. The only wav to conquer that dis
order, and prevent the numerous dis
eases and disabilities which it assuredly
provokes. is to renew the activity OF
gastric action by Strengthening the
stomach. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
eradicates the most inveterate forms OF
indigestion by restoring vitality to the
alimentary organs, and those which are
tributary to them. The liver, the bowels,
the kidneys and the nerves, no less than
the stomach, experience the inVigora-
tive effects of that standard tonic,
which possesses Alternative properties
that greatly enhance its beneficial lnhu'
| euce' and give a permanence to Its
effects which they would not otherwise
possess.
